Mother's mudras
(Pranab:) “Once I took a number of photos of special movements and positions of Mother's hands (mudras). Let me tell you about this.
One day Udar's sister, Millie, wrote to Mother: “Mother, the hands you've used to build a new world should be photographed. Please ask Pranab to take some photos.”
It was 1972, the year the Government of India issued a special stamp of Sri Aurobindo. Mother was to accept the first day cover and the first cancellation of the stamp. As was her way she arrived before the appointed time. This gave me the opportunity to take photos of her two hands in various postures.
Huta saw the photos and asked me: “Every posture of Mother's hands has a special meaning. Ask Mother and write it down.”
But I could not find the occasion to do this.
Then Huta wrote the meanings below the photos and sent them to her. Then Mother herself wrote the name and meaning of each posture and corrected the spiritual meaning. This is how we got the spiritual meanings of the photos showing Mother's hand-mudras.”[1]
